Twenty-six women control twenty-six briefcases,
each of which contains as little as a penny, and as much as $1
million. How much faith does a player have in the contents of
the cases? Only the banker knows for sure.

Last time, we thought that someone was
going home with $1 million after nine cases. That didn't happen, though,
so now we're up to 10. And how special is it when Howie actually wears a
tie? He'll give it to whomever will take him for a million.

We start it with BECKY MATHENY. She's from Gilbert, AZ, where she's a
married mother-of-five. She wants her father to retire to be closer to
her.

Tonight, we're playing with 10 $1 million cases. Is one of them in case
#18? Let's hope...

?

18

Becky's case

It's a special number, as she uses this
number online. Let's start with six.

Draw board. Two more big money cases gone. "Did you fill out all the
forms to play this game?" The final requirement... You must be this tall
to win $1,000,000. "It looks like you may come up a little short
tonight." The new offer...

round. NO DEAL.

11 - $10
1 - $10,000
22 - $5000 ... and everyone's dancing
3 - $200

Great job! You stayed away from the million, and as a result, the bank
has to raise the offer to...

There's still a four-in-11 shot at a
million. That's better than a third. Mom wants her to go for it. NO
DEAL!

Becky has brought 18 people with her, as her little girl Riley calls the
banker "banky cranky."

Becky rushes to her family in the pit. Banky cranky raises the offer
to...

... Literally. The button is raised to a
foot above her head. It's still a good dealer's board, and her husband
wants her to continue. With a high jump, she says "NO DEAL!"

17 - "It's not the penny, but it's close!" $300
20 - Everyone wants this one. Becky wants to name her next kid (maybe)
Alike... "I'm just happy that you're having fun anyway... 'cause look
what you got!" BANOODLES!

That is a definite blow to the bank. There's a 50/50 shot at a million,
and the worst she can do is $50. The banker begrudgingly offers...

That's the average of the millions, but
not of the entire board. Will she give up her 50/50 shot at a million
for a third? Nope. NO DEAL!

21 - $1,000,000... Two left.

Still a 40% chance at a million and a safety net. Next bank offer is...

That is a drop, but not a big one. One
more case in the next round means that this is still a dealer's board.
NO DEAL!

9 - "I have a good feeling about this." 50!

We're back to even odds. The banker raises the offer to...

One word to describe what's going on right now... Wow. Mom keeps saying
that her time is now.

25 - This is Becky's gut feeling... Gut feeling wrong. $1,000,000.
